Sewing Tools Tote

We had to buy a set of odd-shaped tools, plus an L square which is 24" long x 15" wide.

Last week in class we discussed creating designs for a tote to hold everything.

I designed mine as a vertical bag with multiple Velcro closure pockets sized to hold the various tools. (The pockets can seal up all the way; I just have the tools poking out in the photo to show what goes where.)

One pocket needed to hold a small plastic box so I put darts in it.

There is another pocket on the inside for a 9" x 12" sketchbook. My drawing shows the t-shirt and asymmetrical wrap vest I hope to make with my new patterns.

I bought the fabric Thursday night, started sewing last night, and finished it up on Saturday.

The inside of the bag shouldn't be examined too closely because I didn't finish it as well as I could have,

but it will be very functional regardless.

After I finished it, I realized it looks like I turned a pair of striped pants my brother had in the 70's into a bag!! (Though to be fair to Joe, they were various shades of brown stripes, not these circus tent colors.)

About Me

I post about things I like -- art, food, TV, anything or anyone I think others should know about.
There is an unimaginable amount of talent out there! The creativity and skill others have would discourage me if it weren't so inspiring! I wish I had a million hours in the day so I could have time to see it all and then practice.
